I say now, what have you got there?

D.W.Q.M.: "There's no point in being grownup if you can't be childish sometimes." -the Fourth Doctor *heehee* how old am i again? ;) Ah, possibly my most favorite line in all of Doctor Who-and how well it applies to me! :-D As I was packing last night, I was thinking about how amused the check-in people would be if they ever chose me as one of their "random" full search checks. If they were ever to thoroughly go through my carry-on bag, this is what they would find in my single-young-woman-with-no-children bag: -Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix -a Gameboy Advance, complete with several games -a copy of the latest issue of Non-Sport Update (info and price guide for non-sport trading cards) -a copy of a fairly recent Scyre magazine (yet another info and price guide...for CCG cards like Magic, Pokemon, etc.) -a playable deck of Magic cards (guilty as charged, here-I like playing it, but it's hard for me to find people who do-I alway

'Round and 'round we go!

D.W.Q.M.: "It seems that I am some kind of a galactic yo-yo!" -the Third Doctor As always, a few days before I leave for vacation, my sister calls me to tell me my full schedule for the first weekend I am there! Since they are having a house being built for them, and they have the frame up, etc, etc., we will be taking a trip to see that-just me, my sister, and our mom-kind of like a girls afternoon out or something. Apparently they are going to be living near some antique shops, and my mom just loves shopping there!! (she's found some pretty cool stuff-for those of you who have been to my place, where do you think I got most of my cool glasses from? *heehee* ;) ) My sister will also be near Stacy, MN ( I keep forgetting the name of the town where the house is being built-bad, bad ella!) We have cousins on my mom's side in Stacy, of whom we will probably be visiting on Sunday! The problem with living so far away is that I only get about a week to see everyo

Whoa, there, horse!

D.W.Q.M.: Ace: "Oye, that sounds brill!" the 7th Doctor: "My sentiments exactly!" For those of you familiar with Cedar Hill right by campus, you might find this amusing...or sneaky: Date: Sat., June 21st Time: about 12pm or so...maybe closer to 1. Place: Cleveland Heights/Cleveland- Euclid Heights Blvd & Cedar Rd. As we are coasting down Euclid Hts blvd almost above speed limit, with the flow of traffic, we hit Cedar Rd, and just as we are about to decend the hill, we spot a lone police officer, no squad car, standing on the corner at the top of the hill with a speed gun, talking into his walkie talkie. We're thinking, "huh?" and then shouting, "Holy s$@%!" and to the car, "Whoa, horse!", for a split second later, we see the flashing lights of six squad cars, all lined up on Cedar Hill, each with a passenger car with very irate-looking drivers. Cleveland Hts must be despera

Harry Potter countdown....according to my watch. ;)

7 hours 31 minutes until "the Order of the Phoenix" hits the shelves at any store opening at midnight. WOO-HOO! 'nuff said. :-)

tacos and other things

Doctor Who Quote of the Moment: "Would you like a jellybab...no, I don't think you would, would you? ;)" -the Fourth Doctor You're traveling through another dimension -- a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of chaulpas. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are only that of imagination and taco sauce. That's a signpost up ahead, your next stop: the Taconight Zone! Ta co ta co, Ta co ta co... (taco email submitted by Jerm) I haven't decided yet if I will be posting these on taco night, or the day after, or if I will post every single one-but, keep an eye out for them, and hopefully you will be amused as much as we are every week! Thanks, Jerm! Oh, and special mention goes out to Persephone -she kicked our butts in Settlers last night, without longest road! You go girl! And Jerm won his first game of Killer Bunnies last night-i think he likes it! LOL. ;) Just in case you are curious as to what my 'Doctor Who Quot

To another summer of Italian band!

Doctor Who Quote of the Moment: "Eureka!" -The Third Doctor hey, did this post without a hitch? ;) 2003 marks the beginning of the 7th summer that I have performed with the Italian band. (quick note: no, i am not Italian-being Italian is not a requirement for this particular Italian band. ;) ) We perform at several of the local Italian parish festivals, which usually includes 3-6 processions throughout the summer. We did our first procession of the summer this past Sunday, and later that afternoon, I came up with this list: Your procession is not complete without one or more of the following: -Starts anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes late of scheduled step-off time -Includes most of the Clergymen from the Parish, and a bishop -Cute little children, usually dressed up as angels or other biblical figures -One or more of the following statues: Mary, Jesus, or the Patron Saint of the Parish, usually decorated with flowers and money -the Knights of Columbus -Wom

Grrr....

The Doctor Who Quote of the Moment: "What's wrong with being childish? I like being childish." -the Third Doctor I tried to post three times last night, for over an hour, and my entry disappeared all three times!!!! ARrrrrggggg.... :p I guess I'll try to post it again later. Romana learns to hit 'save' the hard way. *sigh* oooh...and it looks like the server that hosts my comments is down again. Hopefully that will be fixed soon!

Taco Night...

So, taco night just ended a few hours ago. I had the crunchy/chewy/sweet'n'sour gordita/chalupa/burritto. It was really good, but of course, Jeremy made fun of me. thanks again to Paul and Brigitte for bringing the tacos! While we ate, we watched some tv. I'm really starting to like Spongebob Squarepants. Squidward is my favorite character because we both play clarinet. Jeremy made fun of me when I told everyone that. After tacos we played some Killer Bunnies, a game, by the way, that Jeremy was very reluctant to play, but I think he enjoys, even though he makes fun of me for liking it. I was doing really well, I had tons of carrots and bunnies, but in the end, my stuffed Snoopy won, since the game really is kinda of random like that. Jeremy made fun of me for losing. Moving on from Killer Bunnies, we played some Sorry. Brigitte pulled out a winin that one, even though I was really close. Paul came in a close third, and Jeremy never got any guys out of start.

Ok, onto other things...

Well, sometimes my comments are there, sometimes not. Strange. I've emailed the adminsitrator of the site i am using to host my comments section, to see if he knows what the problem is. In the meantime, if you do see a place to leave comments, please feel free to leave them! :) Onto other things-they are testing the fire alarms and sprinkler systems here at the library this week. Well, while I was upstairs in the stacks collecting some Deweys to work on, I passed by a container labeled 'Dry Smoke'. (they use this to test the sprinkler system-they put it in a small container on a larger pole, and stick it on the sprinkler-if the sprinkler is working correctly, it turns on, and the water is contained in the container...at least that's how i think it works) Anyho, on the container it says 'leaves no residue or powder' and fills the air with a 'nice, refreshing, clean scent'. Well, that 'nice, refreshing, clean scent' is this overpowering

Comments test, take 2

or 3, if you are counting yesterday's attempt-but who's counting? Just trying one more thing before I look for help from someone who knows more about html code than me. ;) Comment

This is a test

this is a test of the commenting system. Have I added a comments section correctly?

A blast from the past...

Ok, first a blogger update-i tried adding a comments section to my blog, but it didn't work. I'll try that again later. Alrighty, now for the blast from the past! I had signed up for Classmates.com a long time ago-before you could add all the schools you ever attended. I don't remember when I added my elementary and junior high schools, but they've been there for a while. Anyho, so this weekend, I get a call from MN-at first i thought it was my sister, using someone else's phone, but when i listened to the message, it turned out to be a friend that I haven't seen since elementary school! She had seen my name on the list, and then looked me up in the phone book-of course, the only person with my last name in the Minneapolis phone book is my sister, so she called and asked alison if i was her sister. ;) Alison told her i was now living in Cleveland, and gave her my phone number. We finally had a chance to talk tonight-but 2 hours isn't nearly enough

Here goes nothing!

Ah, my first attempt at something other than checking email, web surfing, or internet shopping. This post is just to see what my blog looks like. I'll write more later!
